Yesterday. Today.

Today's horrorscope:

Master your own bliss. Wherever you go, be alert for signs of beauty, anything to lift your spirit: a stranger's smile, a pretty tree, an interesting cloud formation. The world is filled with simple joys and things to bring you quiet pleasure. They're all around you. You need only to pay attention and open your heart.

Today, a cold front from a passing low-pressure system dropped a few sprinkles of rain on this burg.

Yesterday morning, i was out and about at 5am. The skies were crystal clear, and in the dark sapphire blue of the pre-sunrise sky, Jupiter and Venus (thanx Clint) hung together in close proximity. And then a high-flying jet flew between them, leaving a perfectly straight white contrail to punctuate the scene.

This morning, the sky was turbulent with all the shades of gray, from downy white to gunmetal grey, as layers of low and high clouds marked the passing of the weather front.

Beautiful.

Yesterday morning I woke up relaxed thinking that being patient had paid off.

By the ofternoon, i totally lost it.

lilbro: shoulda asked your brother
JPennant: for what?
lilbro: help
JPennant: im real sensitive about asking anyone for help
lilbro: bitch
JPennant: thanks pa, but I only ask when I feel i really need it. And even then, I try to avoid it.
lilbro: prideful slut
JPennant: Eh. Ive earned that big ass chip on my shoulder
lilbro: woman
JPennant: hm?
lilbro: women r prideful
lilbro: hence u r acting like a woman

Today, i only had to growl once as i set about fixing the damage.

I got the note of apology/explanation i needed and wasted my entire morning with damage control.

By the afternoon, I was out admiring the scudding clouds and relaxed again.

JPennant: hey g ... how tings?
glinessa: things are cool...how about you?
JPennant: heh. in spite of having the nagging feeling that things arent supposed to be THIS hard, i feel like progress is being made
JPennant: ;-)
glinessa: hahaha...sounds like me and law school
JPennant: Ah, yes.. the ol' oneL grind
glinessa: yeppers
JPennant: man, I dont envy you
glinessa: no one should


JPennant: if you had told me 3 years ago that i would have to take these baby steps at my age, i prolly woulda shot you on sight.. :-)
glinessa: lol
JPennant: but now, i realize there is benefit to this
JPennant: Like those people who grew up in the depression
JPennant: theyve got habits that trace back to that to time, but theyre generally pretty successful because of it
glinessa: yeah
glinessa: ok...going home...will be back on later....will you be on?
JPennant: yeah, im just gonna lax about for a bit
